"The Fiat Punto has low operating costs and is cheap to buy, but it is now quite outdated and abandoned by poor build quality and sloppy handling . "

the Fiat Punto sitting in the packed small car class, where there is strong competition from rivals such as the best -selling faces Ford Fiesta, the much improved Vauxhall Corsa and upmarket Volkswagen Polo. The Punto is Excel not in a particular area, but it is relatively cheap to buy both and run, and also comfortable.
The Punto feels best to go into town, where its light steering and compact dimensions make parking and tight spaces navigate a doddle. The car is less impressive at speed on twisty roads, where its soft suspension means its roles and revels in corners. This setting, however, means that there is a decent cruiser accelerate once up on highways.

The most economical model is the 1, 3-liter Multijet diesel, claiming an official figure of 80.7mpg. The petrol engines are not bad, but they have to provide not the same performance as the engines for the class-leading Ford Fiesta available.
The first Fiat Punto was launched in the early 190s to life and many changes was a naturally subjected since, offered including trim levels. Currently you can order the car in three basic specifications; Pop, Easy and GBT. The GBT order is sportier than the rest and contains larger alloy wheels and a firmer suspension setup. A limited edition Jet Black 2 model is also available, which comes with a black styling package and additional equipment.

boot Punto is quite small folded flat for a small car, but space with the seats closer to the competition. Headroom and legroom for passengers is quite good and four adults should be comfortable enough for longer distances - adding a fifth person in the middle seat will change that for all three passengers in the back as it is quite narrow
Although. a facelift gave the Punto a welcome design refresh and heralded an improvement in the quality of build, yet lags the car in these areas significantly behind competitors like the Volkswagen Polo. The Fiat is very convenient and comfortable, but again, the best in class, like the Skoda Fabia, are better in both respects.
The Fiat Punto with a diesel engine is cheap to run, but there are many other superminis that can match its efficiency, and what the Punto in other areas more it is the key. This is ultimately why it's hard to recommend the car over others in its class.
